The Grand Opening...
At this time, On this night, Through the thinnest of veils, Spirits may rise and shine, As we all turn to the inside, Contemplate the passage of time, Watching grass and flower and leaf, The colors of myriad endings, Countless signs of the long cold rest to come.
Drumbeats and howling winds, Twinkling stars dance in and out of dark gray cloud curtains, Swirl 'round the bright and lovely Moon.
The otherworlds beneath my feet and above my head, I wander in the heart of the night.

I love the poem! Not so much the cold. Had a brief warm up there for a couple days but now the cold is coming again. Not ready for it.

Love this one Dan. I too am not a fan of the cold but I am a fan of the wonderful changes with which nature graces us.

Dan, I may be going out of a limb but this had the feel for me of a poem of a man dealing with his mortality on a cold autumn night. You put into words this seasonal journey like no other can my friend.

You put into words this seasonal journey like no other can my friend. John John, thank you. It's close to that. It's based on the spiritual tradition of shamanism, which deals with all of creation as individual "spirits" to be learned from. Dan
